Description

Glyceryl Behenate is an ester of glycerin and behenic acid, which is widely used in cosmetic products as an emollient, thickener, and emulsion stabilizer. It helps improve the texture of the product, making it more creamy and pleasant to apply. In addition, Glyceryl Behenate forms a protective barrier on the skin's surface, preventing moisture loss and softening and nourishing the skin. This ingredient is often used in creams, lotions, lip balms, and other skincare and hair care products. Thanks to its emollient properties, it is suitable for dry, normal, and sensitive skin.
